That's where you're very, very wrong.
You essentially have four choices: (1) destroy the known terrorists yourselves -- including the Taliban, (2) hand
all of them over to NATO, (3) suck up your pride and allow/force NATO to come in and take care of the problem themselves, or (4) declare war on NATO and bring the fight.
If you choose to side with, or protect, known terrorists, then you must also be prepared to suffer the consequences of that poor decision.
So now, try to remain rational, and decide... what's it going to be? (1-4)
My guess is the status quo... #3.

Once more palehorse proves himself a self centered idiot. Here the Pakistanis are helping in the fight and become collateral damage. And palehorse blames the dead Pakistanis. The Green Bean is exactly correct here, another few of those incidents and the public mood inside of Pakistan could turn real anti USA ugly. And Nato may find themselves faced with an ultimatum to get their troops out of Afghanistan in a month or so because Pakistan is terminating permission to use Pakistani territory as a supply route. And thereafter Nato can either seek permission to get supplies through Iran, can trespass across someone's airspace to supply by air, or they get get the hell out because their occupation is no longer viable.
palehorse&fellow idiots, get a clue, Pakistan is a sorveign nation that has lent you a route into Afghanistan and nothing more. And if I were a Pakistani watching you and your ilk bumble around Afghanistan bringing death, anarchy, and ineptness in your wake, I would be damned firm on not permitting you to operate a single inch inside of Pakistan proper.
But to listen to your arrogance, you talk as if the Pakistanis asked you to ride to their rescue which is exactly what did not happen. And then you assert a right to put US boots on the ground inside of Pakistan and if you put that into practice, its Nato that going to be the one that gets the boot. You are skating on mighty thin ice as it is.
